You need 2 types of people to keep early-stage startups from stagnating: - someone who’ll shamelessly sell the product before it’s fully ready to be sold - someone who’s embarrassed by this and will push to improve the product faster

It’s Wednesday and time for a substack post! This time comparing the two main approaches to metrics layers. Enjoy! davidsj.substack.com/p/metricalypse…

Excited to share our first integration with @getdbt today! You can now build metrics directly on top of dbt models and enjoy lineage, freshness and soon lots more 🧑‍🍳

Metrics store + @getdbt models = ❤️ Introducing dbt + Transform: 👉 Use dbt models as data sources for your metrics 👉 Access metadata about your dbt models in Transform See why this is a game-changer. bit.ly/3l08LKd

This is @prukalpa's "I have a dream" speech. I have a dream where metadata is managed properly and accessible and updatable in context. Where new starters can be useful in less than 3 months and we don't waste time on stale centralised docs. 🙂

Second principle: all technical decisions are easy until someone's fingers touch a keyboard, and then the Sunk Cost Principle comes into full effect. By the time we had Tableau up and running, we had already built like 30+ dashboards in Mode. It was over.

"The expected outcome of improving a stack — say, implementing CI/CD, adding staging environments, onboarding a new tool, hardening conventions, adopting infrastructure as code — is that over an extended period, the rate of value creation will increase." stkbailey.substack.com/p/comment-on-t…

To my many friends/followers doing metadata/catalog startups, I have a request: please integrate the metadata info with my BI tool so that I can see it *while I am doing queries.* I have no desire to *ever* visit a third website to just "browse the metadata."

Just read this blog from @HightouchData about need for speed in rETL - hightouch.io/blog/the-need-… They use @RocksetCloud as the source here but most companies are still building upon slow ETL batch systems. So much value to unlock by moving the data faster with little downside


"We know how to reason about the parts of the system that we are most familiar with, but we don’t spend as much time on the causal links and downstream impacts of changes in our metrics." roundup.getdbt.com/p/bring-back-s…


We’re focused on helping our customers get value from data

It’s Wednesday afternoon, and time for a substack post! This time exploring my background in the commercial side of data and how this is my basis in understanding the value of data for an organisation. davidsj.substack.com/p/data-in-the-…

Great to be able to tell my cofounder story on @data_weekly!

It’s Wednesday afternoon, and time for a substack post! This time focused on data and analytics engineering! I’m expecting some 🌶 from software engineers who have zero tolerance of scope creep in any form 😂 davidsj.substack.com/p/this-wont-be…

@avora is already on top of the data layer and will integrate with further metrics layers and data backends as they arise

"all SaaS apps will get recreated as data apps - as apps on top of the data layer" @martin_casado youtu.be/q1nERFM9brA It's nice to be working on app that started on the data layer 😁

This is why I wanted to join @avora, we’re not building foundations any more; we’re starting to build the house. Our products provide timely insights with context, saving our customers pounds and pence, dollars and cents.

Tell me how you're USING data. I'm sick of hearing about how you're producing data or building data stacks. As one great data scientist once said, the only stacks that matter are those of benjamins.



Our cofounder @DSJayatillake on the Dear Analyst podcast!

Dear Analyst #89: @DSJayatillake discusses the bundling of the data stack, leading data teams, and more! We also reference the analytics engineering podcast by @getdbt where David, @bennstancil, & @jthandy talk about bundling/unbundling. ow.ly/11WU50Izx7T
